PITTSBURGH — The Catholic Diocese of Pittsburgh held its opening Mass of the Jubilee 2025.
Bishop David Zubik hosted the Mass at Saint Paul Cathedral in Oakland. It began in the Oakland Catholic High School gym before a candlelight procession into the cathedral.
In the Catholic church, a Jubilee Year is a time for worshipers to strengthen their relationships with God and forgive others.
Pope Francis has banned this year’s theme “Pilgrims of Hope.” He hopes more people will take a holy pilgrimage that draws them closer to Christ.
Jubilees are celebrated once every 25 years.
